Support a school and win a tropical holiday

For the fourth year running Apii Te Uki Ou is holding its popular “Win a Trip to Raro” fundraiser.

Valued at over $12,000, this year’s prize pool includes a visit to Aitutaki, as well as a full island experience on Rarotonga.

Last year’s fundraiser made $15,000, which helped to fund learning support and culture teachers for the school.

This year, the school hopes to top the previous fundraiser with every $10 donation through Givealittle, an online fundraising platform.

Apii Te Uki Ou board member Louise Wittwer said she was thrilled to bring the fundraiser to life once again as the board had worked hard to fund great opportunities for the students.

In Wittwer’s eyes the best result would be to see a Cook Islands family get to treat some family members to a trip home next year.

“How precious; winning Air New Zealand flights to stay at the gorgeous Sea Change Villas and then experience the luxury of Pacific Resort Aitutaki, including two return flights courtesy of Air Rarotonga.

“On top of that, the $12,000 prize package comprises an amazing array of fun activities to do right here in the beautiful Rarotonga.”

More than 20 local businesses have donated flights, luxury accommodation, transport, meals and island activities to make this project one of the biggest school fundraising events of the year – one which people from all over the world can be involved in.
